The 144,000, a Subset of "Spiritual Israel"?
by DNCall inthis is an alternative to "spiritual israel" and the 144,000 being one and the same.. two scriptures might support the subset idea:.
first, revelation 7:4-8 states that the 144,000 are "out of" the 12 symbolic tribes of "spiritual israel"--12,000 "out of" each tribe.
this would indicate to me that "spiritual israel" is a larger body than the 144,000 (whether a literal number or not).. second, the new covenant is said to be between god and "spiritual israel," entitling its members to be children of god and brothers of christ.

Preceding weeks' WT articles?
by nbernat inthey are pretty much glorifying themselves (the gb and anointed that is) and putting unto themselves the names of a prophet and only source for interpretation of the bible.
whatever the hell they decide to make of the bible is law and should be accepted good willingly!.
because they were named by the master jesus christ.

The North American Indian nations and the 1914 prophecy
by edmond dantes inthe witnesses claim that nation shall rise against nation prophecy happened in 1914.but if you were from one of the many north american indian nations during the previous century could you not claim that in their world it applied to them and wasn't there hundreds of tribes and nations being attacked by larger stronger nations ?
if those days were not cut short extermination would ensue with more nations involved.we remember 1914 as the start of millions being slaughtered but in the world of the native americans wasn't the previous century just as wicked..

On Armageddon....
by Sunspot insince leaving the wts i have come to appreciate that our lives need not be lived while centered around the "coming destruction" or that all our goals should be focused on this thinking 24/7.
when standing back and getting away from the stringent and narrow-minded views of the men of the wts.....and see what jesus actually said on this topic....we are in for a surprise.. when you read the bibles that show his words in red.....and take the time to go through and only read those....it is apparent that his focus was not directed on this "fearful coming destruction", but primarily on showing that he is the truth and the life, and that his followers are to be compassionate, kind and helpful in whatever ways they can.
we have only to look at the "two laws" and the "golden rule" he preached, to get an idea of what he lived and what he died to accomplish.

"End of the Gentile Times" Meaning Was Changed...
by deaconbluez ina good point that captives of a concept by don cameron makes is that during russell's time, the "end of the gentile times" which would take place in 1914 was to signify the complete end of world government's rule.
after that came and went, in order to not have to admit that they were falsely prophecying, they changed the teaching to mean that it was the end of their "uninterrupted rule".
therefore, they had to conclude that in 1914 an invisible jesus christ who was invisibly present as he was being invisibly enthroned to begin his invisible rule rom the invisible heavens.. .
